our Arkansas Adventure

three women
in their seventies
travel four hours

walk their feet off
in largest art gallery around
crystal bridges

I am the baby of the group
a mere seventy-two
our driver is seventy-six
our birthday girl is seventy-five

the seventy-six-year-old is dancing around us
as we limp around the night tour of a forest
lit by fiber optics, with projector lights and sounds

I do not remember being out this late I say
it is nine-twenty-two.
we look for a restaurant
because we did not eat supper
they all closed at nine
